ORIGIN

This 1966 Morris Mini Traveller is a right-hand drive station wagon which was reportedly imported to Canada before being converted to left-hand drive under previous ownership. Power is from a rebuilt 1,275cc A-series inline-four paired with a 4-speed remote-shift manual transaxle. The car is finished in green and black with wood trim over gold Cosmic wheels, and is now located in Tennessee. Work since the seller’s acquisition in April 2017 consisted of the installation of new replacement floorpans as well as a new gray interior, clutch, hydraulics, ignition parts, and more. This Traveller is offered with a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.

The Traveller measures 125 inches in length and features an extended rear compartment with new decorative ash wood trim and swing-out “barn doors” in the rear. This example was originally white according to the seller, and the current black over green finish is an older repaint. Touched-up blemishes are shown in the gallery below.

A new front bumper and new parking lamps, wiper motors, tailgate hinges, and door seals were installed by the seller along with 10” Cosmic alloy wheels finished in gold. Yokohama Advan HF A-008 tires date to 2013 and are said to have 500 miles of wear. Sliding windows are featured in the doors and rear quarters. New Spax adjustable shocks can be found at all four corners.

A conversion to left-hand drive was performed under previous ownership. A new pedal box and correct floor pans were welded in and sealed prior to fitment of a new Rokee wood dash, seat covers, carpets, front shoulder restraints, headliner, and shift boot. A three-spoke aftermarket steering wheel and new horn have also been fitted. The centrally-located Smiths speedometer is flanked by Mallory oil pressure and water temperature gauges.

Additional images of the interior before and during refurbishment can be seen in the gallery below. The 5-place odometer shows 67k miles, approximately 100 of which have reportedly been driven by the seller.

Dual rear “barn doors” swing on new hinges, and the plank-lined cargo area can incorporate a folding rear bench seat, if desired.

The 1,275cc A-series inline four was reportedly built by Colorado specialist Dean Snepenger under previous ownership, though supporting records are unavailable. Compression readings can be seen in the gallery below. A 4-speed “remote shift” manual transaxle replaces the original. The seller states that the drivetrain mounts, clutch, throw-out bearing, brake and clutch master cylinders, and associated lines were replaced in spring 2016. Other work included a tune-up as well as installation of a new thermostat and an electrical cut-off switch.

Several photos of the underbody have been provided in the gallery along with those showing the new front brake calipers, rear wheel hubs, and four new shocks. The underslung fuel tank was boiled and sealed before being fitted with a new filter, float, and sending unit. The seller notes that the new floor pans were treated with undercoating and rust repaired in the fender wells. A complete list of parts installed during the seller’s ownership is as follows:
